The graphics artist had fun using the "airbrush" function of Deluxe Paint...

Believe it or not but at the time people were impressed when I showed this game. It was boring to play though.

One of the first four games developed in-house by the French software publisher Titus. It is marred by ugly palette combinations, boring tracks, and unrealistic physics when going over bumps. On the plus side, it runs reasonably fast and you get to drive four different (most likely unlicensed) cars: a Mercedes 560, a Porsche 911, a Lamborghini Countach, and a Ferrari GTO.

One of my fist game ever in The precious metal compilation bought right after my amiga 500. I played Xenon and Arkanoid 2 to death, crazy cars some times and captain blood almost never. When it's the only game you have, you find it fun ( the jumps were funny and it was the same mercedez as my grand pa' have fun fact ).
After that came Stunt car and i'm not sure i ever played it again, but don't forget it' was a 1987 game and for that time you had fun with it.

Does anybody notices a difference in the levels or by driving the different cars?!? They handling seems to be absolutely identical. Very boring game and veeery easy

This was a bundle game with my A500.... And even though it was one of my first games ever... I still didnt like it! I am surprised after such a bad start that they ever considered doing sequels!

This game was the first disk I ever inserted into my Amiga. The graphics and the music blew me away (well, the title picture and tune did). I completed this game the second time I played it never to touch it again.

Seems like I only played the demo of this. That was all I needed. It didn't quite compare to the Test Drive games I'd played on C64 so I didn't bother until II came out, with better graphics, so I got it and liked it. Then III came out and these other 2 were rendered completely moot.

I love that last screen shot with the car in the air. Riiiight! Thank God Amiga was capable of better than this.

See those industrial areas and space ports on the horizon? Maybe that could explain what the heck is supposed to be on the roadside. Alien manure? Radioactive crops?

No seriously, the only things in this game that don't make me wanna puke are the nearly-decent vehicle graphics and a nice rock 'n' roll digitised audio loop on the title screen, but the game itself is an unmitigated disaster.

I wonder how could it possibly have dropped out of the bottom 100.

I expected that you could get over the opponents by jumping on those silly bumps, but even then you crash into them!
The jumps have no meaning.
I tried to finish the game, but I gave up when I came to the Lamborghini. Every course are so equal and each of the 18 courses lasts 75sec each +lot of loading each lvl.
Takes nearly an hour to complete the game. Before that time, you have became so bored that you don't bother to drive anymore.

This game is just utter crap, steef-online already described this game very well, so I can't add anything that he didn't tell already. I can't recommend this to anyone, it's that bad!

This must be one of the worst arcade racers ever produced. I remember to have played this quite a lot in my youth on a PC at a friend's house. Maybe I didn't have much games to compare it with, because when I played the Amiga version later on, I didn't like it one bit. It's so simple a game. Push forward and go flatout all the way, jumping unrealistically high over bumps and swerving around other cars, reaching the finish before your time's up. Graphically very bad (look at the roadside graphics!), sonically just one monotonous engine buzz and hardly any gameplay. Titus needed until Crazy Cars III to figure out how to make a good racer.
